Lady sings the blues

Hello dolly loves
Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk to a designer I've long admired in sl, Neveah Niu of Iconic.  Well I say talk...she talked and I fangirled a lot!  She is an amazing woman and so talented and to top it off super sweet.  I always love when I get a chance to talk to designers and they turn out to be nice people.  It gives me hope for SL where kindness is sometimes a rare jewel. (Caiti talks a bit about that in her blog today) Thank you Ms. Niu for the warm welcome into the Iconic family!
Keep shopping and please be kind to each other

A little kindness goes a long way.

Words that I really do strive to live by, but also struggle to uphold.

Strawberry Singh did another Monday Meme, and this one really did speak to me on a whole lot of levels. I love her challenges, especially ones that get inside my head and make me think, and look at what I've been doing a different way. We've all been subject to meanness on the internet in this day and age, nobody is exempt...but to also think about how I've been on the other side of the table, been the one being mean...well, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I abhor bullying of any kind, but I am aware that sometimes...I end up being the bully.

Meme instructions: Answer the following questions either on your own blog or on any social platform.

1. Have you ever been subjected to mean comments online by strangers? If not, then skip to question #5.  In this day and age, I don't know anyone who can say that they have never been the target of mean or insensitive comments from strangers...or even from people they know. I came out publicly as pansexual while I lived in the deep southern United States, in a very Catholic family and section of the state, right around the time that Facebook was really starting to gain popularity and Myspace reigned supreme. So to answer the question, yeah, I have.
2. How did you respond to them? Honestly...depending on what the comments were about, my responses are anywhere from silliness, to snarkiness, to striking back to wound just as deeply as I may have been hurt. Some things get under my skin easily, while other things I can just brush off.
3. How did they make you feel? I have this thing about myself where I want everyone to like me and think nothing but positive or happy thoughts about me...or pleasant at the very least...very unrealistic, I know. So when I come across or hear things that people have said about me that are negative, I usually don't take it very well. I'm pretty good at bottling things up, which is actually a very bad habit of mine...but it all eventually comes out, and not in good ways. Shorter version: I don't react well most of the time, I pretend to brush it off, but I do take things personally.
4. Can you share some of the mean comments you've recieved and your thoughts on them? God...in SL alone, I could probably go on for days and days on end, listing every bad or negative thing said to me...I think one thing that sticks in my head the most is when I had my RL picture up in my 1st life About Me tab for a while...some random person who I never met before IMed me and called me an ugly whale, among other things. Usually I can brush that stuff off, but I remember it clearly because it was shortly after my father in RL told me that I was the least photogenic of all three of his kids, so I was already feeling down about myself. I don't remember this person's name, but their words stick with me still.
5. Have you ever ridiculed or negatively commented on someone else's work, actions or personality with the intention to hurt them? This one's a hard one for me to answer. I have never set out to hurt anyone with anything negative I have said...but yes, I have ridiculed and been negative and a general asshole to people. Comments in passing to friends about someone's photography and how much it sucks, negative comments about someone's clothes that they're wearing, their blogging style, their avatar's appearance in some cases...items that I didn't like in a store, sim designs I didn't like...I guess I don't like to admit that stuff to myself, because I do try to be a nice person...but I have a mean streak in me.

To close this out, I'm going to pull an entire paragraph from Strawberry Singh's blogpost, just because it really did speak to me. "If you're the kind of person that is spreading negativity, let it go. Don't let it define who you are in the real world or your voice on the internet. Help promote a more compassionate internet. Contribute to the community in a positive way, and take a moment to make someone's day. <3"

Lazy Daze

Hello my little honey pots!

Last week zoomed by like a bullet and it feels like the weekend did too.  Already it's Sunday and the weekend is ending.  Today I'm just lazing around and doing some reading.  It's fundamental...did you know that?  I spent a bit of time yesterday doing a little painting and decorating of my room.  Do you like it?  It inspired my fashion choice today.  With such a lovely room I just had to find something to wear and now I can relax diva style!

Take time to look around you  and get some fashion inspiration and get your own divatude going!

Have a wonderful Sunday, Dolls!

I need your therapy

Greetings dolls!
I've just been sitting here having a little conversation with Bunny.  She's gives great advice and as a bonus she even told me where I could find these adorbs bunny shoes!  Best of all Bunny never tells my secrets.  She's cool like that.  Sometimes it's important to have someone to lend a listening ear and well...lets be honest...she's got pretty big ears to listen!
Ok, time to end my session with bunny and head out for some shopping therapy!
Hope you all have a hoppin great day!

Me, Myself, and I...

Because focusing on our own selves, talking about ourselves...well, isn't that what SL boils down to in the end? Making ourselves prettier...more appealing to the eye, learning life lessons, acquiring things, learning something that could turn into a profit for ourselves...most importantly, eventually learning to love ourselves above others...

It's a weird day for me, and technically not even Monday anymore, but...I wanted to participate in Strawberry Singh's Monday Meme. Maybe you can learn a little more about me in the process, because...I do enjoy talking about myself.

Before I get into the meme-ness...ladies, I know how obsessed we all are with our mesh hair, and how flexi is pretty much a thing of the past...but...nobody does curls quite like Ms. Neveah Niu of Iconic...and she's finally released a hair that she's been sitting on for a loooong time, and ohmygod...curl city!! The hair textures on this hair are the best that I have seen on the grid, and you can see just how much work and love she put into this lovely creation. 

Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the following statements in your post, completing them by writing down the very first thing that pops into your head.

I am...a submissive woman. Stronger than I feel at the moment.

I want... Inner peace. Calm, serenity.

I have... Very little, but I am okay.

I wish... my family wasn't as screwed up as we are(RL). That I had as good of a support system in RL as in SL.

I hate... conflict. Arguments. Feeling like my friends are angry with me.

I fear... being alone. That I won't find someone who is right for me, that I'll just settle.

I search... for nothing much lately. 

I wonder... how my son is doing today(it's his birthday).

I regret... the things I said to my father in retaliation to his hateful words to me. 

I never... have really dealt with a lot of my mental issues.

I always... try to have a smile on my face.

I usually... am lost in my own thoughts, especially recently.

I dance... like a little white girl...which means, not very well at all.

I sing... loudly and mostly off-key. I miss the days I was in choir.

I often... am really hard on myself for no real reason.

I sometimes... love myself. It's getting a little bit easier with time.

I cry... a lot lately.

I need... to know that I am not going to die alone.

I should... tell my friends and family that I love them more.

I love... cats. Zann, Adham. My favorite Boystown men.
